Thank you for seeking out more information about a Lundscapes video of your wedding or other special event.
Whether a wedding, civil partnership, christening, birthday, anniversary, reunion or other family, friends or work event, Lundscapes can record the day for you to treasure in the future.
Whilst a favourite uncle, aunt, friend or colleague may offer to film your occasion for free - and might be quite adept at videoing - a professional job will always be so much better. If this truly is one of the most important days of your - or another's - life, let your friend or relative enjoy the event as a guest, and trust the experts from our experienced team to cover your needs, and produce a unique, professionally made film.
Planning
We advise a free, no obligation, consultation to discuss your requirements. This can be by email, phone, Zoom, Skype, FaceTime, WhatsApp or in person. We can then prepare a quote to meet your needs.
The length of your video is up to you. For a wedding, a majority of our clients opt for a programme of edited highlights around 30-50 minutes. However, you can opt for a shorter film - say 15-20 minutes. You might choose a short video in addition to the main version - for example, five minutes of highlights.
It is worth remembering that videos take many more hours to edit than to film. A single shorter final video will cost you less but not feature as much. The price will vary depending on your wishes and, importantly, on what you have requested we record.
If your budget is tight, have you thought of adding a video to your list of potential gifts to be paid or part-paid by relatives or friends?
We strive to be realistic, flexible, friendly and sensitive, and charge a fair amount for our services - bearing in mind the costs to us, including the skilled labour (both filming and editing), equipment, transport, insurance and copyright fees.
If you wish to proceed with our quote, we do ask that you sign our terms and conditions, and pay for your video at that point. Our contracts keep things simple, straightforward and fair. It is a record of what has been agreed, and features many of the points on this page.
We would like to inspect the venue ahead, and be present at your rehearsal / run-through. This will really assist with our planning, for example, regarding camera positions. Additionally, other issues and potential problems can be discussed and ironed-out.
Filming
We use at least two high definition (HD) video cameras, and advise using two operators to record a large event - such as a wedding. Our equipment is mostly small and lightweight, in order to be as unobtrusive as possible. Usually, we do not require additional microphones, lighting or a mains power supply.
We will not interrupt your proceedings for filming purposes or to "stage" any scenes but instead use our experience to capture the action naturally. However, we do require your co-operation in giving advance cues when certain elements will occur - such as speeches or cutting a cake.
We will work with your photographer and other event staff to showcase your day at its best. If something changes, beforehand or on the day, we aim to be as adaptable as possible.
Past clients have praised us for our unobtrusiveness, flexibility and sensitivity during their big day.
Weddings
Every event is different, but to help you plan what you might need, our videos often feature one or more of the following:
1. Bride's preparations
Typically including shots of hair and make-up being adjusted, the dress / outfit and photographs being taken.
2. Church, registry office or other venue
Guests arriving, the service*, photographs being taken, mingling of guests, confetti and couple's departure.
3. Wedding Breakfast
Video clips of welcome drinks, mingling, the "line-up", photographs being taken, the meal, venue, the speeches* and cutting of the cake (if occurs at this time).
4. Evening Reception
Cutting the cake (if not above), footage of the evening meal, mingling and the first dance.
* Unless specifically agreed ahead, the video will feature highlights of your day and, thus, for timing purposes, a wedding service and speeches will be shorter in length in the finished video. All editing is undertaken sensitively, to include the key moments and provide a flavour of the content as a whole.
Post-Production
Editing is time-consuming, not only because of the volume of footage to transfer to our editing system, review and then cut, but also as we pride ourselves on doing a precise, thorough, professional job.
Timing will depend on our other ongoing projects. Your video will normally be ready in three to four weeks from the date of recording.
Please note: we can only use Lundscapes footage and stills in our videos, cannot accomodate clients in our edit suite, and are unable to enter into further editing discussions once we have finished the video (unless as a new order). However, we work hard to create the video that you request.
We present our videos as a download or on USB stick / pen / flash drive. These formats also allows you to enjoy the full HD picture quality.
The Small Print
As stated, we always try to be as fair, flexible and sensitive as possible. Included in our contract is information about your right to cancel, what happens if your plans change or if, in an emergency, we are unable to provide our services.
